i already solved this, sorry if I didn't post anything to tell it.

The box gather some process that do video processing.
I found that the issue comes with a new kernel, so i thought that was a 
kernel (or near kernel) issue.

The problem was that the new kernel has CONFIG_HZ_1000 set, and the 
processes (and here's the problem) made a sleep(0) to poll the video 
device ( "because 'empirically' it worked" )

Of course that's wrong,even if it didn't give any problem with 100Hz.

thanks, anyway. ;)
bye!
